I looked at the high resolution photos on the PIA site and the mark is a bit of a puzzle. The "M" is without a doubt pantographed, however the crown appears stamped. Looks like someone has a crown stamp but couldn't come up with an M stamp of the proper size.

Hi Ron, Despite PIA's statement to the contrary, their photos are not high resolution and can not be enlarged to show detail. Here is a true high resolution photo of a correct 1908 Commercial Navy and PIA's photo.
Best regards, Norm |
